PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

Your direct feedback and comments are valuable, especially when combined with information automatically gathered about how you use Avishkar's software and services. To that end, Avishkar collects key information that helps us improve the product and to deliver the V-Pointsβ program. Some of this information may be personally identifiable information about you (e.g., your email address, login on Facebook, sites you visit). We may also collect personally identifiable information about you in ways that don’t involve Avishkar products and services – for instance, if you send us an email with your phone number in it. We also collect information about your use of Avishkar's software and services and the configuration of your system. White some of this information can be anonymous, some of the information collected may be personally identifiable or it may be possible to associate the collected information with you (e.g., through heuristics or in combination with third-party data about you). 

By agreeing to participate, you are agreeing to allow Avishkar to collect these and other data points and transmit them to Avishkar's servers. If you don't agree, please do not use Avishkar's software and services and uninstall them from all your devices. 

Information Collection, Use and Disclosure

In this policy, when we say we "collect" information, we generally mean the information that is collected from your device when you have one of apps installed or when you visit the website or open the V-Pointsβ portal. This information is sent to our servers or servers operated by our partners which may store the information persistently in a database for later use. When we say we "use" information, we generally mean that we store it, retrieve it, parse it, aggregate it, analyze it, report on it, combine it with information from other sources, and do similar transformations and analyses in pursuit of understanding how users in aggregate use Avishkar's software and services and how we can make the product better.

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our services, features, and content.

Cookies

Like many websites, we may use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we may use persistent cookies to authorize you and ensure that only approved valid members may use the service. Second, we may use session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Sites/Services, to better understand how you interact with the Sites, and to monitor aggregate usage by users and web traffic routing on the Sites. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Sites and Service and then close your browser. We have no third-party advertisers on our Sites today, but we may in the future. These third parties may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from any websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Sites or all functionality of the Services.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click on a link, dropdown, coupon, offer or advertisement on our website you will be redirected to a partner (advertiser) site via affiliate cookies.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement. Avishkar cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We may disclose information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties that we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal processes (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of Avishkar or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable. We may also transfer your Personal Information to third party service providers that assist us with carrying out the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. Lastly, we may disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose to which you Consent.

Business Transfers

Avishkar may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. Avishkar will notify you, by posting an updated Privacy Policy on this website, before transferring your information to a new entity as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of some or all of its assets.

Accessing, Changing or Deleting Your Information

As some of the information we collect and store is non-identifiable and anonymous, it may be difficult (if not impossible) for us to locate and delete all of the data we’ve collected about you. If you would like us to access your personal information, or request we correct or delete any of your Personal Information or records associated with you in our system, please contact us and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we can locate the records, and if we do not have any legal obligation to retain the records. See below for privacy contact information.

Security

Avishkar is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to help protect your information from unauthorized access.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable statutes on security breach notification) to you by posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

International Transfer

When allowed by law, your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, Avishkar may transfer Personal Information to the United States and process it there. Your explicit consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to its laws.

Links to Other Sites

Avishkar may contain links to other third party websites. These other websites may have their own privacy policies and terms and conditions that are not governed by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any website(s) owned and operated by any such third parties. Other websites may collect and treat information collected differently, so we encourage you to carefully read and review the privacy policy for each website you visit. Any links from Avishkar to other websites, or references to products, services or publications other than those of Avishkar, do not imply the endorsement or approval of such websites, products, services or publications by Avishkar.

Our Policy Toward Children

Anybody under the age of 18 is prohibited from using Avishkar's software and services as some content might not be appropriate. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, he or she should contact us at [email protected]. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files to the extent possible. (See Accessing, Changing or Deleting Your Information above.).
